Chapter 12 06

Indeed, competing with Paul in terms of wealth was a truly disgusting thing.

This guy had already made a fortune from the spaceship modification project before departure. From this, it was clear that he was usually the type of person who was good at accumulating wealth. Therefore, the wealth he possessed must be very astonishing.

In fact, Fang Senyan didn't quite agree with this philosophy of accumulating wealth. Money had to be spent and converted into combat power to be called money. When you die, you have nothing left.

However, the space was so vast that there was nothing strange. It couldn't be ruled out that some Scrooge reincarnated might see the high numbers in their account and be willing to defend their property to the death, unleashing extremely high-end combat power...

The transaction price of the Dark Crystal was 380,000 universal points. As the acquirer, Paul was naturally unable to share the money. So Fang Senyan, Ronnie, and Aldaris continued to divide the spoils. At this time, the android No. 1 brought another exciting news:

After the Battlefield Mechanic was repaired, he naturally became a free porter. And in his cargo box, there was actually a small pile of rare ore. These things were probably geological specimens collected by the survivors of the crashed spaceship back then, and now they were being taken advantage of by Fang Senyan and the others.

In this small pile of rare ore, Fang Senyan discovered a piece of red ore and a piece of purple ore. The liquid metal life was very interested in them, so Fang Senyan simply bought them. No one was so ignorant as to compete with him, so it was only the cost price of 10,000 universal points.

Fang Senyan gave up the rest of the rare ore. He knew the rule that he had to let others have some soup. To maintain the stability of the team, at least one had to be fair - even if it was only superficially fair. In the end, six unknown oddities appeared in this pile of rare ore. The most expensive one could even be exchanged for fifteen points of merit. Even the rare ore that was finally eliminated, after being identified by the android's offline database, could be sold on the universe's Taobao website for at least 300% profit.

Next, Fang Senyan gained some time in the name of being alone, so he had time to take out the Tear Stone and the two newly acquired ore pieces. The red ore was identified as a Flame Gem after identification. The purple ore identification required payment of universal points, but unfortunately, Fang Senyan did not intend to pay this fee. He first carefully knocked off the fragmented stones on it, then used a fine brush to remove the impurities on it, and finally "fed" it to the picky liquid metal master.

At this time, without waiting for Fang Senyan to summon it, the liquid metal life had already detached from the glove, turned into a pool of silver liquid the size of a washbasin, and would sometimes squirm like a slime, its surface shining with dazzling silvery-white light from time to time.

Fang Senyan threw the three pieces of ore into the liquid metal life together. It could be seen that the liquid metal life was already impatient. Even before the Tear Stone and Flame Gem had fallen to its surface, it had split out two round tentacles to wrap them up and stuff them into its body.

The eating process this time looked very different from the last time. When it devoured the pineal gland of the ant queen last time, the liquid metal life's eating habits were very ugly. It was almost the kind of gluttonous gulping that didn't spit out grape skins, let alone grape pits. But this time it was much more refined, as if a child was holding a beloved lollipop and licking it little by little. And on the silver-white surface of the liquid metal, small bubbles would pop up from time to time, and then burst. No impurities were released, probably just as fun as goldfish spitting bubbles, and it could be seen that this guy was in a very happy mood.

Fang Senyan sighed, and could only wait patiently, watching the three ore pieces shrink, melt, and finally disappear.

After finishing eating, the liquid metal life re-wrapped around Fang Senyan's wrist. Immediately, the Nightmare Imprint sent a reminder:

"Silver Series Mission Hidden Branch Sub-chapter: Injection in progress..."

"The liquid metal life has devoured relevant important mission items, absorbed strange metal components, which will greatly help its growth."

"Hint: Your liquid metal enhanced life has grown, and the mission completion has been increased to 78%. Please continue to find Tear Stones or similar items to increase the completion. The better the completion, the better the rewards you will receive."

"Hint: Because of feeding extremely rare and precious metal ore, your liquid metal enhanced life has gained a branch ability, and its favorability towards you has increased, reaching the initial critical point, you will receive the first additional increase."

"Suck: Whenever an enemy (including weapons) has any contact with the armor/weapon attached to the liquid metal, the liquid metal enhanced life will analyze or memorize the enemy. When it accumulates seven times, the liquid metal enhanced life will calculate the enemy's attack trajectory, thus invalidating the enemy's next attack."

"There is such an effect?" Fang Senyan was immediately pleasantly surprised. He even had a funny feeling of feeding a baby. It seemed that the more types of food the baby was fed, the more balanced the nutrition, then the baby could grow up healthily.

At this time, footsteps suddenly came from outside. It was the android No. 1. After he walked here, he bowed respectfully to Fang Senyan and said:

"Master, it seems that there is something that needs you to come forward to solve."

Fang Senyan frowned and said:

"What's the matter."

The android No. 1's waist was still bent at ninety degrees, and he said unhurriedly:

"It's those native humans. It seems that none of their companions who were parasitized can be saved. The alien larvae are growing too big. Besides, every living alien larva is a fortune."

Speaking of this, the android No. 1 paused and added with lingering interest:

"A considerable fortune."

Fang Senyan nodded:

"I'll be over in five minutes."

But at this time, the android No. 1 still showed no sign of leaving, but stayed where he was. Fang Senyan turned around and looked at him and said:

"Do you have anything else?"

"Yes." The android No. 1 nodded and said: "Master, in fact, I also have many secrets, which are determined by my highest authority, not my personal thoughts."

Fang Senyan was stunned and said:

"I also know this, so I have never really trusted you. Why are you suddenly talking about this?"

The android No. 1 looked at Fang Senyan very seriously and said:

"Actually, there was some incorrect information before. After we landed on the Upsilon star, the contact between the two sides was not interrupted. In fact, the Little Eagle still has a way to break through the blockade line and then obtain information unilaterally from the camera in my right eye in the first time. Of course, the price paid for doing so is also quite serious."

"What's the price?" Fang Senyan said seriously.

"The Little Eagle's seven reactors are overloaded. If this is done, this new type of fortress warship that has been in service for less than three years will be scrapped within three months, and it will be completely scrapped."

"I see, you continue." Fang Senyan began to listen carefully to every word the android No. 1 said.

"I can feel that the overload detection started after you captured Mushroom Rock, and then... it has continued until now."

Hearing the android's words, the muscles on Fang Senyan's face couldn't help twitching! He couldn't help but think of the most critical question:

"What kind of accident must have happened to cause those guys to be so crazy that they don't hesitate to scrap the warship? ... Could it be that they also have no way out and want to seize me as a possible lifesaver?"

Fang Senyan's heart was full of ups and downs, but his face was calm. Instead, he stared at the android No. 1 and asked a very crucial question:

"Since many of your actions will be decided by the highest authority, then I think, in the highest authority, there must be regulations prohibiting you from leaking secrets, right? Then, why can you tell me these things?"

The android No. 1 straightened his waist, looked at Fang Senyan, and said word by word:

"Because, someone violated the constitution of the great empire and remotely unlocked the imprisonment code in my brain! If this matter is leaked out, me and his descendants, the spouses of the descendants, and the relatives of the descendants will all be killed! Because this is a blasphemy against the sacred majesty of the empire!!"

Fang Senyan suddenly froze in place like granite. It seemed that his breathing and heartbeat stopped in an instant. All the energy poured into his brain in the first time, all supporting its operation, only his eyes were blinking non-stop!

After a long time, Fang Senyan slowly exhaled a turbid breath and said:

"I understand. It seems that someone is staking everything on me and using this to pass a message to me. Damn... there is an amazing crisis between you and him! Could it be that I am also about to face an amazing crisis?"

*

Five minutes later, Fang Senyan came to the ground. It could be seen that the group of captured humans were gathered together, with very ugly faces. In front of the humans were two flat rocks. Lying on the rocks were the two humans who had been parasitized by alien cubs. One of the humans had a chest covered in blood, obviously having been cut open. Unfortunately, it seemed that the alien cub was still alive and well.

Fang Senyan calculated the time and said to the android No. 1 beside him:

"Go and see if D'Artagnan has recovered?"
